Ducati's MotoGP world champion Francesco Bagnaia says riders need “a clear idea” from the stewards over penalties 👇
Marquez was given a double long lap penalty for the incident, that initially looked like it would never be served as he was ruled out of the Argentina GP last Monday due to injury.
Ahead of this weekend’s Argentina GP, championship leader Bagnaia says riders will be asking in Friday’s safety commission meeting for better clarity on the application of penalties. “In qualifying [in Portugal], I had a red sector going through sector two, I was trying to improve my lap time and four riders were on the line riding slow, and I lost my lap.“It’s difficult to know what they are doing about Marc’s sanction, because it’s difficult to understand that someone can make a mistake like this. So, I think we have to ask for more clear ideas.
“But we must follow one rule. The thing is that it’s very difficult to arrive to a conclusion of a rule, because there were many [different] understandings of the situations.
